[the camera briefly flickers on, in an attempt to get audio working. There's a red smudge over much of the lens, where she's picked the device up, but it's easy enough to make Laura out in the recording. A rather bloody Laura, at that; hands, arms, face, hair and all. The feed cuts out, and switches to audio. There's nothing but static for a moment

It's a curse, it's blood for people you've killed.

[notaweapon]

How do you know?

[psichotic]

I read the minds of some of the people here.

[notaweapon]

Ah. You are Nate Grey.

[psichotic]

And you're Laura.

[notaweapon]

I am.

Did you read my mind to gather that information?

[psichotic]

No, I just read your earlier journal entries.

[notaweapon]

I see. [a pause] Are you settled?

[psichotic]

Yeah, I found a place in the Underground to crash.

[notaweapon]

Then I can speak with you. Good.

[psichotic]

Why couldn't you talk to me before?

[notaweapon]

If you were not settled, I would not want to bother you.

[psichotic]

I've lived pretty much my whole life unsettled and on the run, talking isn't that much of a bother.

[notaweapon]

And you were a weapon?

[psichotic]

Did Rachel tell you that? So much for confidentiality.

[notaweapon]

Yes. I cannot read your mind.
